Asus Zenfone 2 to receive Android M (?)

[gipikay]

Does anybody knows chinese? The news are about Huawei phones, but Zenfone(s) 2 are in a column and old Zenfones are in another. Don't know the source of the image.

Assume that since it is confirmed that nexus 7 2012 and nexus 4 are not getting M, that the left column is confirmed to receive and the right column is confirmed not to receive. Just my guess though, I don't read Chinese.

Damn, what if Asus hasn't released 5.1.1 because they're focusing on Android M?

A man can dream

Middle column are planned. Zenfone 2 are iin there. Third column are not available for upgrade

while it would be nice that they seem to have android M down the pipeline for the zenfone 2, its also kinda worrying that the zenfone 5 wouldn't, and its only a little over a year old. That is not a very long term of support for the phone.

2nd column can upgrade
3rd column cannot confirm

lets hope for the best

To be exact, the middle column is indeed listing devices confirmed for Android M update. The right column, however, means devices not (yet) confirmed instead of confirmed not. It can be an easily overlooked grammar mistake though.

I very highly doubt they could / would do that. 5.1 is a very important iteration. These bitches are still lagging on the update. Excuse the profanity.

First column is smartphone brand name, second column reads will be upgraded and third column is not confirmed upgrade. I had my wife read it since she is a native Chinese speaker/reader

Don't take this the wrong way, but I think HQ is more concerned about releasing new variants than supporting their phones, as typical asian business mentality: if successful, iterate, iterate, iterate til nobody remembers what they where doing in the first place.

And I would be less worried if those variations had all the same HW so it could be easily upgradeable in the future... but nope:

Asus Zenfone Selfie (ZD551KL): Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 (1.5 GHz + 1 GHz, octa-core)
Asus Zefone 2 (ZE551ML): Intel Atom Z3580 (2.3 GHz, quad-core) - Intel Atom Z3560 (1.8 GHz, quad-core)
Asus Zenfone 2 (ZE550ML): Intel Atom Z3560 (1.8 GHz, quad-core)
Asus Zenfone 2 Laser (ZE550KL): Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 / 615 (dual / octa-core)
Asus Zenfone 2 (ZE500CL): Intel Atom Z2560 (1.6 GHz, dual-core)
Asus Zenfone 2 Laser (ZE500KL / ZE500KG): Snapdragon 410 (1.2 GHz, quad-core)

And next Zenfone 2 Max...

From a consumer and passionate smartphone fan's perspective, I completely understand your concern, and hope that we will continue to support these devices. As an ASUS employee, I unfortunately can't comment on HQ's business plans and why they feel the variants are being produced except for that we probably won't carry every model in the US. I know it's not the answer you might be looking for, and I wish I could provide more info.

The problem here is, my dear ASUS employee, that, like the other folk said, asian companies only care for profit from sales. They sale an item, then forget about it. They, (you), dont care about customer experience, nor ethics. You only care for sale, the consumers, on the big mayority, are plan and simple dumb consumers, they don't know the real value of their money, expended on items.

ASUS is an irresponsible and anti-ethical company, who laughs in the face of the consumers. they only espect you to go and buy the next iteration. this will be my first and last buy of any ASUS product.

this is my first asus device...I m impressed with the device hardware specs but the one thing that ticks me off is that u guys have still notreleased android 5.1.1 or 5.0.x version updates fr our device....this is the time when I think I shd have waited and gotten moto g3 bcoz Motorola is super quick with its updates and has plenty of developer support too..i was never gonna root this device but various problems wit memory and battery issues forced me to install cm 12.1...see the thing is no matter how good ur hardware specs are ..if u don't give a software update frequently ..its all a waste....I have pretty much given up any hope on receiving official android m upgrade fr this phone..so I guess ill have to wait fr cm13 since its gonna come quicker, and if the software updates are gonna be this slow in future as well...this might be the last asus smartphone I m ever gonna get..so please keep ur users updated about ur plans so atlest we know u people haven't forgotten about ur older devices...To end it all up...this is probably my last asus device @ASUS_Khang....I liked the hardware but without software update its all probably crap
